Sounds of English
Sounds of English App was originally envisioned as a tool to assist some people on the autistic spectrum to become familiar with the fundamental sounds of English language.
Sounds of English App helps a learner with the following
-monothong, diphthong and consonant awareness
-phonological awareness
-categorization of sounds by their place of articulation
-mental representation of each phonological unit with a unique glyph
-awareness that a sequence of sounds make spoken words
Sounds of English App consists of the following three grouped sections
-choose one of three articulation diagrams
-select a point on the articulation diagram, touch it to hear its corresponding sound and see a larger glyph for it
-choose to hear sounds in random order. Select whether to hear vowels, consonants or vowels and consonants. Pick the right place on the diagram for the played sound. If the right place is picked, then proceed to the next random sound.
-choose one of three sets of a hundred words
-select a word from a grid and hear the sounds which it's made from
-choose the length of a pause between each sound in a word
Sounds of English App also includes diagrams which show the approximate positions of speech organs for creation of sounds of English.
A way to use Sounds of English App
-try to create a mental image of the articulation diagrams
-hear a sound, then hear one of its adjacent sounds
-hear a sound, then try to recreate it
-try to create a corresponding mental image of the glyph for each sound
-learn the sequence of sounds for each of the 300 most used words
-try to blend a sequence of sounds together to sound out a word they make
Since English language has many dialects, the most widely understood English dialect was chosen. The dialect of Hollywood films and sitcoms.
A secondary English dialect, RP of British English, is also included. It is incorporated with a different glyph set.
